StuartS4 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hello, I'm new to home brewing, with this being my third brew (my wheat beer is going down great guns). Brewing a K+B Coopers APA with a few changes to use up leftovers 1 x Coopers APA tin 1.1kg Coopers LDME 200g Dex 100g Maltodextrin 15g Saaz @ 60min Dry hopped 25g of Saaz @ 5 days at 18c Added one pack of old Coopers yeast 1 min before flame out, made up a starter for another and sprinkled a third over the top (experimenting). Extra 5 days in FV at 18c Dropped to 1c for 7 days Have bottled this the day after Boxing Day. It is tasting quite good. I was a little apprehensive about using the Saaz and the prospect of it developing a grassy taste, but so far so good. It seems like it will be a very easy to drink beer. I will brew another batch today, but use cascade instead. Will this taste as good? Cheers Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey Stu Welcome to the Guild. It sounds like your brewing career is going great guns, you are in the right place to move from Kit & Kilo to Kits & Bits. As for your next brew I personally would be looking to cut the 1st addittion of Cascade to around the 20 minute mark. This will ensure you get a balance between the Citrus flavour and some bitterness from the boil. But then I rarley boil for longer than 20 mins when using a hopped can as a base.
